Hydrangea macrophylla 'Cherry Explosion', 5LA striking form of lace cap hydrangea, Cherry Explosion bears large, flat, cherry red flowers, growing top to bottom of the plant, which are highly attractive to bees and butterflies. The colour doesnt just stop with the flowers, as the green leaves also turn red in autumn. This deciduous shrub has a neat, rounded habit, ideal for hedging, and does best when positioned in morning sun and afternoon dappled shade.
